Why this can fit
Trade services businesses are strongest when demand is repeatable and the capability sits in the team, not only the owner.
Technicians, supervisors, and admin support who can keep work moving through transition.
Clear pricing, job records, and scheduling that make handover easier to assess.
What owners care about
Whether the team will stay, whether jobs keep flowing, and whether the transition will be disruptive.

Why sell to us
What selling to us means for you.
We protect what you have built: your team, your client relationships, and the reputation that got the business here.
No public listing and no broad distribution. The conversation stays confidential from the first message.
A structured handover at a pace that suits both sides, not a rushed exit.
We can move quickly if you are ready to sell now, or work to your timeline if you are still a year or two away.
Asset or share sale, earn-outs, seller finance, or staged settlement. We adapt to what works for you.
We invest in the business to grow what you built, rather than stripping it for parts.

Who buys trade services businesses in Sydney?
Altevro is a family-backed acquisition group that buys one established service business at a time across Greater Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, and Wollongong. We buy trade services businesses to own and run, not to list or flip.
What size trade services business does Altevro look for?
As a guide, around $1m or more in revenue, $250k or more in seller earnings (SDE), at least five staff, and a five-year-plus track record, with a typical purchase range of $500k to $2m. We stay flexible on structure when the business and transition make sense.
What happens to my staff and clients?
Keeping your team and clients is the point, not an afterthought. Altevro buys to keep the business running, so the first conversation covers how a handover protects staff, client relationships, and day-to-day continuity.
